[QUOTE="ziphnor, post: 52080, member: 14215"] Timeshifting is just recording to a buffer and then watching TV from that buffer. When you hit pause, MP just keeps recording to the buffer, remembering how far you have watched so far. I guess timeshifting turns on when recording because recording is actually timeshifting, the only difference is that when recording you dont wrap around and re-record at the beginning of the recording buffer. Im not sure a 1800+ is enough, i guess it depends on your de-interlacing options / codec combinations as well as how much of this is offloaded to the CPU. Try to run MP windowed and check the task manager to see if the CPU usage at any points look like its getting close to 100%. Personally i use an A64 3000+ and in short periods it can show quite alot of CPU usage. Try playing the recording back on the MP PC, but use another program such as WMP and see if it stutters.
